True enough, but that someone will not be me.  I estimate that the work 
required exceeds the benefits of me using LLVM.  The imbalance is far 
worse on Windows.  And as if to prove the point, llvm-test has just 
finished, with a record 287 failures.  So after fixing 5 of them, 
another 12 have started failing.
